I recently stayed at the enchanting castle property, and it exceeded all expectations. The majestic architecture, luxurious accommodations, and breathtaking views made for an unforgettable experience. The staff’s impeccable service and attention to detail truly made me feel like royalty. A truly magical retreat deserving of five stars.

The castle was pristine, beautifully decorated, well stocked, and simply enchanting. Arsine and Ben were most kind and accommodating. We had the family Christmas of our dreams. The only thing missing was snow!

We had a great weekend at the Castle for my 34th birthday weekend. The property is second-to-none and is definitely an experience to behold. Arsine and Cozette made the whole experience streamline and professional, I can't thank them enough for being so kind and always on-call. From the amenities to the space, and from the property to the staff, this must be one of the best rental properties I have ever visited.

The castle is absolutely amazing! Arsine is an amazing host and very responsive to all of our needs and provided great recommendations on chefs/ things to do in the area. The kids had a great time as we did as well. Everything was perfect. Thank you Arsine + Team!

The property was a dazzling place to stay and Arsine was extremely accommodating! Communication was easy and we felt very prepared and knew what to expect. Also appreciated the tour from Cozette when we arrived. We had a lovely time and the house was immaculately taken care of! We’re already thinking about staying here again in the winter when there is snow.

Amazing trip with team that earned it! It's an awe inspiring masterpiece of a property. Gorgeous neighborhood. Wonderful communication with Arsine - she accommodated all our questions and various arrival times. quick texts and calls.. Not great service inside the castle, but wifi worked great. Were most worried about the sound requirements of the neighborhood, but it seems like, just don't play music outside (ever) and dont have long group chats outside at night and you're good. The double paned windows and thick walls and doors allowed for us to really experience the great family room sound system securely.. We definitely cranked music inside and had a nice tv movie night. The kitchen was awesome. Played table hockey on the granite island.. Wished there were some more utensils to use and could've hoped for more/better pots pans. Fridge was amazing. There's 2 dishwashers. The range was great. Just an overall awesome vide in the place. Modeled after the architects MIT Campus Chapel, the Castle is just an epic masterpiece. We ordered a masseuse for a day - posted up in the master bd upstairs.. Just gorgeous setting. Luxurious and quite a treat - this worked amazing as a destination trip for top performers.. Had up to 18 over for two nights. It was a blast and seriously one of a kind. Bummed that the theatre room was unusable tbh. That's about the only thing that held any sort of remorse. The games, the space, the quality, the views, etc - just a lovely time. Thank you :)
